Council members agreed to remove the legislation, which had been on the consent agenda.

City officials estimated the bike lanes would cost the city between $150,000 to $170,000. The lanes were proposed for both sides of Hines Hill Road from the Boston Heights border to the entrance of the former Youth Development Center, 996 Hines Hill Road.

Sheridan expected ODOT to raise concerns about the bikes lanes' impact on wetlands, he said.

By delaying the paving, the bike lanes could still be considered, according to Sheridan.

Sheridan plans to study the wetlands and return to Council with the results and updated costs. He also will include the costs of patching to maintain the road before the full repaving work is done if the project is delayed until spring 2014.

"I don't have all the answers now," Sheridan said. "It will take months of study, so put it on hold and put it out to bid next year."

ODOT will provide 80 percent of the funding for the resurfacing of Hines Hill Road. The city would have to pay $108,000 for the $540,000 repaving project.
